I have seen this same problem on a couple of the machines on which I
run WBEL3. The first time was on my personal workstation. In all cases,
the problem "went away" after a reboot. I have not tried to find the
root cause of the problem. While in this state, some RPM commands
worked OK, but I believe most failed. This problem hasn't occurred on
all servers running WBEL3, so I'm not even sure how it gets into the
state. <br>
<br>
I suspect that if you reboot the machine, the problem will stop occurring.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
